Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 9th Science - Chapter Atoms and Molecules. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 6, Question 9: what is the mass of a 0 2 mole of oxygen ato....
Question 9

What is the mass of:

(a) 0.2 mole of oxygen atoms?
(b) 0.5 mole of water molecules?

Answer

(a) No. of moles = 0.2
     Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol
     Mass = no. of moles of molar mass
     Mass = 0.2 x 16 = 3.2 g

(b) No. of moles = 0.5
     Molar mass of H2O = 2 x 1 + 16
                                     = 2 x 16 = 18 g/mole
     Mast = no. of moles x molar mass
     Mass = 0.5 x 18 = 9.0 g
